Abstract
Using standard color chips for architecture, effects of lightness on perceived qualities were studied by means of a rank test (qualites : gloss, transparency, deepness, thickness, metallic, planarity, and silkyness senses). A few qualities increased (transparency, planarity and silkyness senses) and the others decreased with increasing the Munsell lightness value (deepness, thickness and metallic senses) . The effect of hue on the percieved qualities were also detectable in the deepness and silkyness senses.
